44 Synchronizing Your Dopod 818 Pro

4.1 Setting Up ActiveSyncActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with information on your PC, such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange Server, if your company or service provider is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:

• Synchronize information, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks information on your device with your PC, as well as pictures, video, and music.

• Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and Tasks on your device directly with Exchange Server so that you can stay up to date even when your PC is turned off.

• Copy files between your device and your PC without synchronizing.• Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how much information

is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past Calendar appointments to synchronize.

To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described on the Getting Started CD. After Setup

completes, the Synchronization Setup Wizard automatically starts when you connect your device to the PC.

2. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the wizard. In the Sync Setup Wizard, do one or both of the following:• Create a synchronization relationship between your PC and your device.• Configure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize directly with Exchange

Server. You need to specify the Exchange Server address, user name, password, and domain name. (Get these information from your administrator).

3. Choose the information types to synchronize.

When you finish the wizard, ActiveSync synchronizes your device automatically. Once synchronization completes, you can disconnect your device from your PC.

2. In ActiveSync, tap Sync. To end synchronization before it completes, tap Stop.

Synchronizing Outlook informationIf you have set up a synchronization relationship between your device and the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook information up-to-date on both computers.You can also set up your device to synchronize with more than one PC or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When synchronizing with multiple computers, the items that you synchronize will appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronized. For example, if you have set up synchronization with two PCs (PC1 and PC2), which have different items, and you synchronize Contacts and Calendar on your device with both computers, the result is as follows:

Location New state

PC1 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2 are now also on PC1.

PC2 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1 are now also on PC2.

Dopod 818 Pro

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1 and PC2 are on your device.

For more information about the configuration settings for ActiveSync, see Chapter 4. See the following sections for details on using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

6.4 Using BluetoothBluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the Bluetooth signal coverage range.

The software included with your device allows you to use Bluetooth in the following ways:• Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between

devices that have Bluetooth capabilities. • Create a dial-up modem connection between your device and a Bluetooth-enabled

phone, then transfer data using the Bluetooth phone as a modem.

Bluetooth modesBluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:

• On. Bluetooth is turned on and you can use Bluetooth features.• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information

using Bluetooth. You might want to turn the radio off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in situations where radio use is prohibited, such as onboard an aircraft and in hospitals.

• Discoverable. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices within a range of 10 meters can detect your device.

Downloading messagesThe manner in which you download messages depends on the type of account you have:

• To send and receive e-mail for an Outlook E-mail account, begin synchronization through ActiveSync. For more information, see “Synchronizing Outlook information” in Chapter 4.

• To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you have with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or that you access using a VPN server connection


(typically a work account), download messages through a remote e-mail server. For more information, see “To download messages from the server” later in this chapter.

• Text messages are automatically received when phone is turned on. When your phone is turned off (in flight mode), messages are held by your service provider until the next time your phone is turned on.

To download messages from the serverTo send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you have with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or that you access using a VPN server connection (typically a work account), you first need to connect to the Internet or your corporate network, depending on the account.

1. Tap Menu > Switch Accounts and tap the account you want to use.2. Tap Menu > Send/Receive. The messages on your device and e-mail server are

synchronized: new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted from the server are removed from the device Inbox folder.

Tip If you want to read the entire message, tap Menu > Download Message while in the message window. If you are in the message list, tap and hold the message, and tap Download Message. The message will download the next time you send and receive e-mail. This will also download message attachments if you selected those options when you set up the e-mail account.

Managing foldersEach Messaging account has its own folder hierarchy with five default Messaging folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the Messaging options you have chosen.If you use an Outlook E-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will be synchronized automatically with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for synchronization. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the e-mail server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages to that folder. You can then read the messages while you are away from your PC.


If you use a text message account, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.If you use a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server will detect that the messages are missing from the Inbox folder on the device and will delete them from the e-mail server. This prevents having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device.If you use an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the e-mail server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your device or PC. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your e-mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected. You can also set different download options for each folder.

7.2 MMS MessagesCreating and sharing MMS messages with your friends and family are easy with your device. You can even use the device camera to capture photos and video clips while composing a new MMS message, and send them along with your message.

Notes • In order to use MMS successfully, this has to be provisioned on your mobile account. Please contact the wireless service provider to have this provisioned as part of your calling plan.

• Please ensure the size of the MMS is within the limits of the wireless service provider if sending to another mobile phone user or sending to an e-mail address.

About licenses and protected filesSome content (such as digital media files downloaded from the Internet, CD tracks, and videos) have associated licenses that protect them from being unlawfully distributed or shared. Licenses are created and managed by using digital rights management (DRM), which is the technology for securing content and managing its access rights. Some licenses may prevent you from playing files that have been copied to your device. Files that have licenses associated with them are called “protected files.”If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your device, use the desktop Player to synchronize the file to your device (instead of dragging the file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for example). This will ensure that the license is copied along with the protected file. For more information about synchronizing files to your device and other mobile devices, see desktop Player Help.

Note You can view the protection status for a file by checking its file properties (tapping Menu > Properties).

To play items on your deviceUse the library to find and play songs, videos, and playlists that are stored on your device or removable storage card.

1. If you are not on the Library screen, tap Menu > Library.2. On the Library screen, tap the Library arrow (near the top of the screen), then tap the

library that you want use (for example, Storage Card).3. Select a category (for example, My Music or My Playlists). Tap and hold the item that

you want to play (such as a song, album, or artist name), then tap Play.

Note To play a file that is stored on your device but is not in a library, on the Library screen, tap Menu > Open File. Tap and hold the item that you want to play (such as a file or a folder), then tap Play.

To play an item on a networkUse the Open URL command to play a song or video that is stored on the Internet or on a network server.

1. If you are not on the Library screen, tap Menu > Library.2. Tap Menu > Open URL.


3. Do one of the following:• In the URL box, enter a network address.• In the History box, tap a URL that you have previously used.

Note To play an item on a network, you must be connected to a network. For more information about creating a remote connection between your device and a network, see Connections Help on your device.

Copy files to your deviceUse the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or later) to synchronize digital media files to your device (instead of dragging a file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for example). Using the desktop Player ensures that licenses are copied with protected files.Always synchronize the files to a storage card that is inserted into your device. Do not synchronize to a storage card that is inserted into a storage card reader. In addition, do not synchronize to the internal storage location (RAM) in your device. For more information about synchronizing files to mobile devices, see desktop Player Help on the PC.

Note Audio files copy faster if the desktop Player is configured to automatically set the quality level for audio files copied to your device. For more information, see desktop Player Help on the PC.

• Backgrounds • Shapes and text boxes • Artistic page borders • Smart tags • Metafiles• Bi-directional text. While Word Mobile will open documents containing bi-directional

text, the indentations and alignment may be displayed and saved incorrectly.

Using Other Applications 123

• Password-protected files. Word Mobile does not support opening password-protected documents. You must first remove the password protection in Word on the PC if you want to view the document on the device.

• Document protection. Word Mobile does not support displaying files that have been protected in Word on the PC.

The following features are partially supported in Word Mobile.• Picture bullets• Revision marks• Table styles• Underline styles. Underline styles not supported by Word Mobile are mapped to one

of the four supported styles: regular, dotted, wavy, or thick/bold/wide.• Legacy Pocket Word files. You can open *.psw files in Word Mobile; however, if you

edit a file, you will need to save it in *.doc, *.rtf, *.txt, or *.dot format.The following features are not supported on the device; however, they are retained in the file so that when a file is opened on the PC again, they appear as expected.

• Footnotes, endnotes, headers, footers • Page breaks • Lists • Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not supported by the device are mapped to the closest

font available, although the original font will be listed on the device.

• Borders. Appear as a single line.• Cell patterns. Patterns applied to cells are removed.• Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not supported by your device are mapped to the closest

font available. The original font is listed on your device. When the workbook is opened in Excel on your PC again, the data is displayed in the original font.

• Number formats. Numbers formatted using the Microsoft Excel 97 conditional formatting feature are displayed in Number format.

• Formulas and functions. If an Excel file contains a function that is not supported by Excel Mobile, the function is removed, and only the returned value of the function appears. The following formulas are also converted to values: formulas entered as an array or containing an array argument, for example, =SUM({1;2;3;4}); formulas containing external link references or an intersection range reference; and formulas containing references past row 16384 are replaced with #REF!

• Protection settings. Most worksheet and workbook protection features are disabled but not removed. However, support for password protection has been removed. Workbooks that are password-protected or workbooks in which one or more worksheets are password-protected cannot be opened. You must remove the password protection in Excel on the PC and then synchronize to open the file on the device.

• Zoom settings. Are not retained. Excel supports a per worksheet zoom setting, while the Excel Mobile zoom setting is applied to the entire workbook.

A.3 TroubleshootingIf you encounter any problems with your device, consult the following guide and try to solve these problems. If you are still having problems after reviewing these solutions, please contact your service provider.

Power & BatteryProblem Solutions

I cannot turn on my device.

• Soft reset the device with the stylus.• Connect your device to the AC adapter and check the LED indicator to see if

the device is charging. Possibly the battery is drained off.

My device keeps turning itself off.

Your device is designed by default to turn itself off if not used for 3 minutes. This period can be adjusted to a maximum of 5 minutes. Refer to the Power setting in the manual for more information.

My device’s date and time reset to factory default when the battery is removed or replaced.

Always re-insert the battery immediately while replacing it. Data may be lost if the battery has been removed for a long time.

Why does the battery on my device discharges faster?

Battery consumption varies from user to user due to the way the device is being used. Devices set under specific identical test conditions may be compared objectively.

ActiveSync on the computer cannot detect my device.

• Make sure you have correctly installed the ActiveSync software found on the Companion CD that came with your device and followed the instructions accordingly. Restart your device and/or PC and try again.

• DO NOT plug in the USB cable before loading ActiveSync.• Make sure the sync cable is connected securely.• On your PC, make sure the Connection Settings are correctly selected in File

> Connection Settings of Microsoft ActiveSync.

ActiveSync is connected but data cannot be transferred.

help sometimes.• Make sure the headset is supplied with the device.

Appendix 149

Connections & BluetoothProblem Solutions

I cannot connect to the Internet. Web surfing doesn’t work.

• Make sure you have set up and connected to an Internet Service Provider.• Make sure the wireless connection to your service provider is switched on,

and that the signal is unobstructed.• Verify with your Internet Service Provider that your user name and password

are correct.

I can’t perform over-the-air synchronization.

Synchronizing your device over-the-air (OTA) directly to a Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server allows you to update your e-mails, contacts, calendar appointments, and tasks information securely from any location. In order to use this functionality, you do not need to connect to a network through a computer. However, it does require that your IT administrator gives you access to this service.

I cannot use Infrared (IR) to transfer information.

• Transfer only one file at a time or decrease the number of contact cards (try sending 25 contact cards only at a time).

• Line up the IR ports between your device and the notebook computer so that they are unobstructed and within close range.

• Make sure nothing is between the two IR ports.• Adjust the room lighting. Some types of light interfere with IR connections.

Try moving to a different location or turning off some lights. Do not attempt to use infrared beaming in the sunlight.

I cannot find a particular Bluetooth device.

• Make sure the Bluetooth function on the other device is activated.• Make sure you are within 10 meters of each other, and there are no

obstructions.• Make sure the other device is set in “Discoverable” mode.

files.• Remove unneeded programs by selecting Start > Settings > System tab >

Remove Programs.• Install programs or store files onto the storage card.
